Do you end each day in a dramatic boardroom meeting, dreading the words "You're fired"?

Work environments on popular television shows may be made up, but many real-life employees can relate, according to a new poll.

An overwhelming 53 percent of respondents said the "boring and mismanaged" workplace depicted in "The Office" was most like their own, the non-scientific online poll by employee Web site Monster.com found.

The fast-paced environment on the long-running hospital drama "ER" garnered 23 percent of the vote.
